What a work of art! The metalwork is absolutely stunning. The artisan's talent leads to perfection in this ring. It is beautiful and impressive. As soon as I opened the package I was in love with it, put it on, and haven't taken it off since. Definately very glad I purchased it!!
looks more flat than hammered...the hammering is subtle. beautiful craftsmanship.
Stone looks faceted, and with more color variety in the photo, it is not. A deep blue cabochon is more like it.
That being said, it is quite pretty and fits perfectly!
I have never gotten more compliments on a piece of jewelry! This is the perfect ring! I love so many of Shanker's pieces.... I definitely will buy more!
